If those are to be believed who, hav.

their experiences, the much-commiser-
ated victim OF the laws extreme PEN
atty is not wholly miserable. 1t would
seem that death "sus. per coll" has
it's ameliorating condition of circum-
stances. One sufferer in the religious
cause in France is said to have "com.
planned" because he was called back
to consciousness from an experience
OF SURPRISING delights, in which he en-
joyed the pleasure of gazing upon the
most beautiful scenery. The lmmedi-
ate sensation OF pain is momentary;
and it would appear not unlikely
that, in our anxiety for the avoid
ance of needless annoyance of those
we put to death judiciallv, we may be
actually increasing their sufferinys
and diminishing their pleasure.
The instantaneous deaths have all
the pain and little or none OF the
pleasure. Slowly induced congestion
of the brain may be the least painful,
and if only the blood pressure be ef-
fectually raised at the center that sees,
the beautiful light and charming seen
cry are enjoyed in the highest perfec-
ton. The subject is grim one, and
we are not quite sure that the new
view of hanging experience tends to
make tho death ponaltv increasinulv
deterrent; but it is right that both
sides of q question which tho late
MIR. Whalley once excited the mer.
riment of tho house of commons by
describing as "a poor man question"
should be carefully considered at all
costs.

The Practice Of Vaccination,

Vaccination is now occupying q
great part of the time of physicians
VITO have charge OF families One of
the r. asons why vaccination is so gen
eral here is that children who have not
been yaccinated are not received into
the public schools, and another reason
is that the insurance companies now
make successful vaccination an indis
rensable requirement In examining ap-
plicants for insurance. l am often
asked by parents when their children
are old enough to be vaccinatcd and |
alwars advise them not to have it done
until the child is at least year old. If
done before the age the operation is
likely TO renuit in serious disturbance
Of the child's health on account of the
very delicate organism of the infant.
as we'll recognized a prevention of dis
sease AS vaccination has become, there
are still many people who bitterly op-
pose it, and know number of these
personally who are in other respects
very sensible. One of them is a news
paper editor of this city, who firmly
believes he had scrofula vaccinated
into him when he was child. In
Europe the opponents vaccination have
gone SO far as 70 form anti vaccination
societies, with the end of discouraging
the practice; but prejudice has not yet

VOmRn's Place I'm the World To-day

One of the most conspicuous ten
denotes of the times is the increasing
activity of woman as an independent
factor IN the worlds progress. Within
tho last twenty years she has made
wonderful advancement in the line of
self assertion. There is to-day scarce
ly any avocation and no profession in
which She does not shine. She is in
the pulpit. She runs for Office. She
feeds the sick on physic. She is the
mlnistering angel of hospitals. She
pleads before the public tribunals.
She edits newspapers. She writes more
books than man. She is a school
teacher. She is an inventor. She
draws big salaries on the stage. She
'7orSs in factories. She manages large
stores. She is cashier, clerk, book
keeper, and everything else that man
makes a living by. The queer things
that She has accomplished are illus
tratea III the curious fact that tho BEST
livestock reporter In this country is a
young lady.
There is no doubt that her COMPETE
ton is giving man close race.
Thousands of young men loaf around
the S; rect corners and complain of not
being able to get situations; but while
they loaf the young women secure the
places, do the work, and draw the
salaries.
And it is not only in subordinate
positions that women accomplish good
Results. AS a director Of large enter
piiscs she has shown her capacity and
ability. A dozen instances could be
cited Of where She has made fortunes
by jndicious management and fore
sight. Tie complete list of women in
this country who have made themselves
rich would cause nine men out of ten
to cpen their eyes wide in astonish-
nlent
1t is about time for men to stop re-
forriny to woman as the weaker vessel.
